Thank you all for the help...

CREISTER...Yes I have an old Springfield 1903 rebored for 333OKH...She is old, and ungly, but shoots like no tomorrow. She is only used with open sights on bear and feral pig these days. It only is allowed to shoot 300 grain Woodleigh.

Carolyn,

Sorry on the spelling.

333,

That is really cool. I shoot a 35 Whelen, still playing with the loads. I found some 280 grain hard cast that I want to use on feral hogs, but that is in the future.

No apologies needed for the spelling. Do you have any idea how many varieties I have to look up b'c I can't spell them without checking?

I was just trying to be helpful.

With the grow setup above, I got all five tomato varieties to sprout in less than five days time from planting.

Kim the spectrum are the Kelvins right? That is why I have three different ratings. I do not use mine to grow out just start.

JBT is great in the cold....more productive than anything I've seen before, including sungold, through our very mild winter. Even in the cold it manages to color-up nicely. It's one of my favorites for this reason among others.

My Soldacki and Lithuanian tomatoes are only 60% on germination. The rest are 100%. Lets not talk about the one Nicholaena Pink that died at my finger tips....Oooops!


Peppers are 100% for Healthy, and 60% for Chervena Chushka, 00% for Aconcagua.

sorry 333, dont know that one.

Nyagous is a tomato which for me performs better in cool summers than hot ones, but it always produces anyway.

Last year I trialed a ton of Siberian tomatoes, only to have one of the warmest summers in decades here combined with tons of rain. Nearly every one of them failed completely. Even here in zone 4 it is good to have tomatoes that can take some serious heat.

The most vigorous growing ones in our cool spring this year of those
that I have planted have been Cosmonaut Volkov, Koroleva, Robson
Angolan, Victoria, and Lithuanian (and some hybrid plants at
various stages of F-2,3,4 development). I expect Victoria to be
the earliest of those, based on other people's reports.

The Cosmonaut Volkov seeds were from trades, but it is widely
available. Koroleva and Lithuanian were from Tania. Robson Angolan
was from Sandhill Preservation. Victoria was from a trade but Sandhill
lists it in their catalog.

edit:
Siberian and Spiridinovskie seem to be doing well, too, but those
are smaller plants by nature, in containers right next to a low
concrete wall that retains heat and radiates it back at night,
so I cannot fairly compare their rate of development with
indeterminates that have been growing in the open ground.
